Golder Associates Inc. (Golder), on behalf of Exide Technologies, has performed interim actions to remove Slag and Battery Case Fragments and immediately underlying sediment from Stewart Creek downstream of the Former Operating Plant (FOP). The interim actions were performed between the FOP and Lake Lewisville. This work was performed in accordance with the Interim Action Work Plan (IAWP) prepared by Golder on November 7, 2013 and conditionally approved by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality on December 17, 2013 along with subsequent correspondence. This Interim Action Report summarizes the completed activities and results of post-removal sampling for the interim actions.

The EPA and TCEQ approved an extension of the due date for submission of the revised APAR for the FOP, which is now due on or before May 24, 2014. An extension was requested due to difficulty gaining access to properties along Stewart Creek and also due to adverse weather conditions.

Copies of the approval letters can be found below, as well as on the PROJECT PAGE:

NEXT COMMUNITY MEETING:

Community meetings will now be scheduled in connection with significant milestones relating to the project. These milestones and the schedule for future community meetings will be determined in consultation with the TCEQ. Details will be posted here concerning the schedule for future meetings.
